Rats were given 6% ethanol (v/v) as their only source of liquid for 4 days. On the basis of ethanol consumption (g/kg/day), animals were divided into high, medium and low ethanol consuming groups. A non-ethanol exposed control group was also included. Following a 24 hr food deprivation period, animals were restrained for 3 hr. No differences in gastric ulcer frequency or severity were noted with the exception of a slight tendency toward a lower incidence among ethanol consuming rats relative to controls. An unusual observation was the high incidence of duodenal ulcer observed only among ethanol consuming rats. This ethanol-stress interaction is discussed in terms of an animal's history of ethanol exposure.

In recent years, global trends indicate consumer interest in functional foods. Thus, there is a trend to replace the use of artificial colors with natural colors that, in addition to being attractive to consumers, provide benefits to the biological functions of the human organism. The objective of this research was the solvent extraction of a natural dye from the roselle flower, its identification and evaluation of its behavior at different pH and temperatures.

Background: The objective of the present study is to examine the total phenolic and flavonoid content of an ethanol extract of and to evaluate its phytochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and capacity to protect DNA from damage. This pharmaceutical/food resource mushroom may serve as a novel substitute functional food for health-conscious consumers, given its promising source of phenolics and flavonoids.
Methods: ethanol extract (SEE) was evaluated for total phenolic and flavonoid contents, while UPLC-MS analysis was used for terpenoids, phenylpropanoid, flavonoids, steroidal, phenols identification, and function prediction.

Platelet aggregation and inflammation play a crucial role in atherothrombosis. Wine contains micro-constituents of proper quality and quantity that exert cardioprotective actions, partly through inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory and thrombotic lipid mediator. However, wine cannot be consumed extensively due to the presence of ethanol.

() is a Mexican plant that is consumed raw or in different preparations, and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have traditionally been useful in treating several conditions. However, the post-harvest drying process can alter the content of bioactive compounds in . This study aims to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on the phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity of this plant, as well as its inhibitory effect on human SW480 colon adenocarcinoma cells.
